How a Small Leak Can Turn Into a Big Problem
Plumbing issues are a part of every homeowner's experience, but not every problem needs a costly professional fix. From clogged drains to running toilets, many common plumbing problems can be handled with a few tools and basic know-how
Dripping Faucets
Replace worn washers or cartridges after turning off the water supply.
Clogged Drains
Hair, grease, and debris are common culprits. Use a plunger, snake, or natural cleaner.
Running Toilet
Flapper or handle chain may need adjustment or replacement.
Low Water Pressure
Check aerators and showerheads for mineral buildup; clean or replace as needed.
Leaky Pipes
Epoxy or pipe clamps can serve as temporary fixes, but full replacement is ideal.
Water Heater Issues
Inspect thermostat, pilot light, or flush the tank to clear sediment.
Jammed Garbage Disposal
Reset or manually clear jams with an Allen wrench.
Slow Tub Drain
Remove stopper and clear hair and soap residue with a drain stick.
Toilet Doesn’t Flush Properly
Adjust flapper, chain, or water level for optimal flushing.
Bad Odors
Dry traps or broken seals release sewer smells. Pour water and inspect wax seals.
